Ashes Of Deep Sea

Chapter 386 - 386 390 Long-Awaited Reunion

?Chapter 386: Chapter 390: Long-Awaited Reunion Chapter 386: Chapter 390: Long-Awaited Reunion For a long time, Lawrence felt as if he were trapped in a “lucid dream” – he was more aware than anyone of what was happening to him, of the mental illness that was afflicting his spirit.

He knew Martha was no longer there, knew that the figure he interacted with day and night was just an illusion. He knew all of this – whether it was on a subconscious level or a conscious one, he was painfully aware.

But compared to other captains of a similar age and experience, his mental state was actually quite good. On the vast Endless Sea, there was no shortage of captains with twisted spirits and damaged minds. Even with the division of burden offered by ship priests, the profession of challenging the sea was bound to bear a mental corruption far beyond that of ordinary crew members. Each captain had completed numerous sea voyages in a continuous struggle against their deteriorating minds, to the point where they often described their profession with a saying:
“We’re not sailing on the edge of The Abyss; our lives are steered straight into it.”

It was precisely because of his years of mental hardship that Lawrence had an exceptionally keen awareness of “Martha.” Right at this moment, he keenly perceived that the figure before him was definitely not the same “thing” he had seen in his past hallucinations.

He couldn’t help but recall the “Martha” that had appeared on the white oak deck before, when the first mate Gus had seen the figure of “Martha” – had the Transformation started then?

Had everything finally crossed some critical point? Had the things from his imagination… finally arrived in reality? Or was some unspeakable force reading his mind, creating this physically present “entity” before his eyes? Was this a gift filled with malice, or a trap laden with mockery?

“Martha…” Lawrence finally opened his mouth, feeling his throat a little dry, his voice hoarse, “are you in front of me?”

“As you see,” the female adventurer laughed, “want to touch me? I even have body heat.”
